Oryginalne półgrosze ważą około 9,2-10,8 g, a ponieważ były wybijane bez kołnierza, ich średnica wahała się między 28,5 a 30 mm. Współczesne podróbki są dość powszechne, zwłaszcza te datowane na 1775 rok, i są mniejsze i ogólnie cieńsze.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Genuine halfpennies weigh around 9.2-10.8g and since they were struck without a collar, the diameter tended to vary between 28.5 and 30mm. Contemporary counterfeits are fairly common, especially 1775-dated pieces, and they are smaller in size and generally thinner.
